Welcome to Litsy!

A visit to the library yesterday means choosing a new middle grade book to start with breakfast today. I‘m picking up Fowl Play first.

Sunday morning #BookAndBreakfast

This is a fascinating look at the relationship between Tolkien and Lewis with pages of text and illustration interspersed with full graphic novel panels featuring a lion and wizard. There‘s a lot about their beliefs and writing styles more than events of their lives.

Good morning! A slightly different view from my backyard than last night, but it‘s my favorite place to be on these beautiful fall days. I spent some time making these breakfast biscuits to pull from the freezer on busy mornings, and now I‘m catching up on some A Tree a Day reading. These short anecdotes about trees from all over the world continue to be so interesting.

Enjoying Sunday morning book and breakfast and then more of this book while I also meal prep breakfasts and clean up the kitchen before church.

I started this morning by baking these sourdough rolls and reading this book, a sequel to Misty of Chincoteague, that I happened across as we were sorting through things at my grandparents‘ house. It‘s another story of the pony penning on the island and the kids taking care of an orphaned foal.

I‘m not generally a poetry reader, but this collection is by an author from my hometown so I decided to support his work and give it a read. I‘m reading a few poems each morning this week with breakfast.

School‘s out for the summer, so I‘ve got a few quiet mornings to enjoy a slow start with a book. I‘m looking forward to getting into this next Shardlake novel. I read it once before, but in a rush so that I remember even less than the others I read longer ago.

I have the day off today. Starting off with a leisurely #BookAndBreakfast - pulled a scone from the freezer and made some tea to go along with this book which started slow but has turned into quite the page turner.

Sunday morning book and breakfast

This is the essay I‘m the most intrigued to read, but I also expect to be frustrated by wanting more. After reading several of Tolkien‘s incomplete works, I know kind of what to expect. This includes commentary about Tolkien‘s nearly indecipherable notes and just enough detail to make you want to know more when it‘s impossible.

#BookandBreakfast of banana pancakes & bacon on this fine snow day! I read the first chapter of Assassin's Apprentice before bed last night and it very well be my favorite first chapter I've ever read. I got immediately sucked in and I cannot wait to read more about Fitz.
